Do you think it is wrong for someone to say they are autistic when they aren't diagnosed?

Do you think it is wrong for someone to say they are autistic when they aren't diagnosed?

I don't want to cause any arguments on here just wanted people's honest opinions because I am not diagnosed myself and not sure i want to go down the assessment route and feel at present that I would only be doing so for other people's benefit to prove I am and not my own.

  • My only exposure to TikTok has been some reels that have been reposted to YouTube. Whilst there are some genuinely funny and creative videos in the short-form / vertical format, the rest of the sample I've seen have range from bemusement to "WTF did I just see?" Alas, YouTube itself is now awash in 'shorts', to the point where I've had to try and filter them out of search result.
